The Sacramento City Council has unanimously approved the city’s second-largest infill development project: Curtis Park Village. The decision comes after years of debate.

Curtis Park Village is a housing and retail development that
would be built on 72-acres of an old toxic railyard near Sacramento
City College. Some residents worried who were about toxic dirt
being buried under a proposed park threatened to sue. But developer
Paul Petrovich told council member last night…

"If this project does not get sued, there will be no
contamination under the park. There will be no contamination
anywhere other than the street sections."

Consequently, representatives from the Sierra Curtis Park
Neighborhood Association now say they won't file a lawsuit.

Petrovich has already hauled the most toxic soil off-site.
Remaining contaminates will be buried 16-feet below the
development's main street.
